Aria

I stepped out of the car and stared across the field. It was a wide, overgrown land. We arrived first thing in the morning because we knew finding a buried body in a vast field was not going to be light work.

I turned to Kol, who was already pulling out two shovels from the back of the truck. He didn't speak. He just handed me one.

We moved without a word. Past the rusted sign, past the crumbling fence and past the place where my childhood once lived. Because this wasn’t just some field. This was our field.

My father used to bring us here—me, Lira, sometimes Jarek when he was in town. He’d set up a small picnic under the apple tree that used to stand proud in one corner before a storm took it. Lira and I would race each other, fall into the grass and pluck flowers until the sun went down. I remembered her laugh here. I remembered how we used to lie on our backs and watch out for cloud shapes that looked like animals.

Now I was here to dig up her sins.

  • The Alpha’s Pretty Mistake   No Rest for the Living

    AriaHow do you know that it’s going to be a bad day? When it’s only morning and the sky was looking dull and grey.I stood by the window in Kol’s room with my arms crossed as I watched the training field bristle with paranoia. The guards moved in a practiced formations, repeating drills and duelling one another. Kol stood at the centre of it all. Even from where I stood, I could see how tightly his jaw was set. I could see how tensed he was. I would say almost… afraid but knowing Kol, he’d never show it.Since the council’s reckless decision to retaliate against the New Moon Pack by sending back two of their scouts' heads, an act I still couldn’t entirely stomach, Kol and his men had become creatures of vigilance. No one slept. No one smiled. Every passing hour without word from Herald and Heraldine was a ticking bomb.I pressed my forehead against the glass. Everyone was anticipating something from Herald. Especially he’s crazy wife, Heraldine.Just then, the door behind me opened.

    LiraThe heads sat in a sealed black box in the centre of the New Moon council table, surrounded by a silence so thick you could hear Heraldine’s breath catching in her throat.The blood still smelled fresh. In the box was one head, a scout named Devon, barely recognisable and his mouth open in terror. The other who was older, had the tattoo of their pack's crest just below his jawline.The box was delivered by Moonlight wolves. Kol’s people. It was packaged with precision and labelled with names.This wasn’t a message. It was a declaration. And it was exactly what I’d hoped for.“They really did it,” Heraldine whispered, her eyes wide and wet.Herald, who was seated at the head of the table, said nothing. His fingers traced the rim of his cup with his eyes fixed on the mutilated trophies.I didn’t look away, not because I enjoyed it, but because someone had to own this moment. And Kol? He wasn’t here to explain. But I was.Elder Voss broke the silence first.“This was not Kol’s style

    KolI stood by the mirror, dressed in full black with Aria behind me lacing the last of her boots. We were preparing to visit Herald. In person. With proof in hand and with every intention to douse the flame before it became a wildfire.Aria picked up the tape recorder and slipped it into a velvet pouch. While I had her memory box in my hand. I glanced at her through the mirror.“You don’t have to go with me,” I said.She didn’t even look up. “Yes, I do.”I wanted to argue. To tell her the political terrain was too volatile, that she didn’t owe anything more to Herald or his Luna after what they’d done. But the truth was, I didn’t want to go without her. She was the proof. She was the weapon. She was the one thing I knew would keep me from letting rage speak louder than reason.Then we heard a knock. Three hard knocks at the door.My most trusted guard, Elias, stepped in without waiting for permission. His demeanour read urgency.“What is it?” I asked.“The council,” he said. “They’r

    AriaSince the attack and the letter, Kol had tried to down his rage with whiskey. I sat by the window, tucking my knees beneath me and staring out window, looking at the aftermath of the chaos. A few guards whispered to each other beyond the glass. One of them glanced up at me, then quickly looked away.Behind me, Kol paced. Back and forth. In his clenched fist was the letter Herald had sent, the same one that claimed I wasn’t who I said I was. That I was Lira. That Kol had been hiding a traitor and had murdered the New Moon Alpha’s heir with me by his side.My name. My identity. It was all being pulled into a war I didn’t want.“I didn’t know,” I whispered with my voice barely audible. “I didn’t know she’d use Jeremy like that. I didn’t know she’d twist things so far.”There was silence. Only the sound of Kol’s back and forth movement. Then finally, without looking at me, he spoke.“Do you think your sister wants to destroy you too… or just me?”The words hit harder than I expected.

    KolNight time had come and I sat by the window with a glass of water that had gone warm in my hand. I hadn’t taken a sip. I just stared out into the dark.All I could think about was tomorrow.Tomorrow, I’d stand before the Alpha of the New Moon Pack and his mourning Luna and tell them the truth, that their son was buried beneath one of my fields, that my guards retrieved what was left of him, and that the woman who orchestrated it all had once shared a womb with my wife.She shifted behind me on the bed, and I didn’t have to look to know she was awake.“Can’t sleep?” she asked softly.I didn’t answer at first. Then I exhaled. “I keep thinking about how much worse this could get.”She sat up and crawled toward me. Then she wrapped her arms gently around my chest from behind. “We tell them the truth. All of it.”“And if they don’t care about the truth?” I asked. “If they only care about vengeance?”“Then we survive that too.”She pressed a kiss to my shoulder. She climbed over and gen
